    What is with all this lynch mob mentality? Kid is 17 and obviously made an youthful indiscretion. WTF do you want to publish this on national media and crucify him for?

    This tweet should be forward to the OKC organization and the OKC police department.

    That's it, full stop.

    Classy, impressed with Brooks and Durant. Can't say the same about others.

    Houston police need to know about it for this evening so if he somehow traveled already with the OKC squad this weekend.

    You dont send death threats to people, especially when your job involves you being in close proximity to them. He deserves all the scrutiny hes going to get just for being an idiot. 17 is hardly a kid nowadays.

    But they won't take it seriously. And on the off-chance this kid is serious I don't think the police dept. or OKC organization take e-mail addresses available to the public very seriously or take their sweet time to read and respond to them.

    Care to cite two examples of "lynch mob mentality"?

    You seem like you're a very careful person. Has recent history not suggested to you that clear-as-day death threats should be regarded with a minimum of suspicion?

    He's 17. In another year, these comments will get him in much worse trouble. It's better that he learns now, and learns for good.

    I care about my team and its safety. Anyone that mentions hurting our players (whether as a joke or seriously) should be treated as a threat, especially when they have the means to actually cause damage. Sure he's a 17 year old kids, but teenagers are hardly immune from terrible actions.

    It deserves to be on national media. Something is wrong with the kid, if he didn't know that was a very stupid thing to do, not just once, but twice, AND directly to Beverley.

    I'ts not like he just tweeted out of frustration he was going to kill Beverely. It's a direct threat. He deserves to lose his position. If it doesn't get picked up by the media, the team may not do anything, other than just sit him out. It's not like his life will be ruined because he lost a part time gig at 17.

    If you read my post, I am not saying don't do anything, I said to forward the tweet to the OKC police department and I agree with a prior post saying to forward to the Houston police department as well.

    I don't know what you're trying to accomplish with getting his name on national media other than to make his life miserable, i.e. being purely punitive. People are obviously frustrated and said stupid things, but let's get a grip here.
